From: "Orsi"
Sweet Surrender (Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing)
Capo on 2nd fret
                Em                    C           G
It doesn't mean much, it doesn't mean anything at all
D                       Em           C
   The life I've left behind me is a cold one
                 Em             C             G
I've crossed the last line from where I can return
      D            Em              C           G
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me
    D      Em    C
And led me from my home
D     C   G    Em         C              D   Em        G
Swee--ee--ee--t surrender  is all I ever had   to give
        Em      C               G
Take me now, no questions asked
D                      Em              C
   You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me
           Em          C            G
Are you an angel, am I already that gone
  D              Em           C          G
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
         D         Em   C
When I'm down here on my knees
D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give
D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give
      Am                          D
And I don't understand (how?) the touch of your hand
G                        C
   I would be the one to fall
           Am                D
I miss the little things
       Am                    D
I miss everything about you
                Em
It doesn't mean much
                C           G
It doesn't mean anything at all
D                      Em           C
  The life I've left behind me is a cold one
D     C   G    Em         C              D   Em
Swee--ee--ee--t surrender  is all I ever had   to give
D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give
